Replace the guide bar when the groove is worn, the
guide bar is bent or cracked, or when excess heating or
burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is necessary,
use only the Guide Bar specified for your saw in the
repair parts list or on the decal located on the chainsaw.
Replacing Bar & Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or
when chain stops. Only use replacement chain noted
in this manual.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn
or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged
guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting
harder.
Fit the bar tensioning plate tab into the new bar by
tightening the screw clockwise. The tab protrusion (a)
must be fitted into the bar hole. (See Fig. T)
SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
WARNING:
Remove the battery pack before
servicing. Severe injury or death could
occur from electrical shock or body contact
with moving chain.
Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more
safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, Guide
Bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain
into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few
large chips, chain is dull.
